Hi Hum4god,
i just swap out my BAT vk-5i with the cary 308 hybrid pre today and i am pretty amaze at the bass and volume control improvement.mentally,i cant accept this cary sound better then my BAT yet,but to my ear it is definitely an improvement.

Sugden-Masterclass or Accuphase E-530.
Both are Class A integrateds and may give you the performance you are looking for.

I've heard the Avantgarde Model 5 with AG Duos. That was pretty good - not as good as expensive tubes, but you can't have it all. Certainly consider the Model 5 - after all it was designed for the speakers.
